Things To Do (Activities & Tour Attractions) & Why Visit The Boma Entebbe In Entebbe?

Key Takeaways

  • Wandering the hotel gardens to spot some of the flora and avian life of Entebbe
  • Boat cruises around Lake Victoria to view more of the endemic birdlife
  • Water activities such as fishing, canoeing, moonlit cruises, and other adventures
  • Visit to the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary to see conservation efforts and rescued primates
  • Touring the Uganda Wildlife Education Center to interact with hand-raised baby elephants and rhinos
Entebbe is known for its incredible indigenous birdlife, and you will have the delightful experience of viewing some of it throughout the property gardens. For even more sightings, spend time sunbathing on the pristine sandy beaches beside Lake Victoria or cruising around the beautiful Ssese Islands, enjoying the adventure water activities. Try your hand at angling or canoeing, or perhaps take a sunset or moonlight cruise (best time to go). On one of the Ssese Islands is the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where you can spend a half-day or overnight trip from Entebbe interacting with the fascinating primate inhabitants.

Entebbe Botanical Gardens is yet another location where you can enjoy the diverse birdlife and the unique plant species of Uganda. Or check out the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Center, situated on the banks of the lake. In addition to a splendid variety of flora, the conservation site boasts various terrestrial fauna and more than 120 bird species. While many tourists might have a chance to meet some of the rescued animals that reside here, including baby elephants and rhinos, AfricanMecca recommend forgoing any close-encounter opportunities out of respect for the animals. The Mabamba Swamp is great for shoebill sightings, and Uganda Reptile Village is another place of interest.
